Endometriosis: 5 Symptoms Deserve Your Special Attention

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disease. This disease is caused by active endometrial cells running to a place outside the endometrium and growing. Because the uterine cavity, fallopian tube, and pelvic cavity are all connected, the endometrial cells that initially only grew in the uterine cavity "mischievously" followed these connected channels to other places and began to "wander around and find a new home."

However, you should not think endometriosis is a trivial matter!

Because these "naughty" kids wander around and continue to grow, they may cause women to suffer from dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, menstrual abnormalities, and other symptoms, and even cause infertility in severe cases. Moreover, the scope of its lesions can also affect all pelvic tissues, all organs, ovaries, utero-rectal concavities, uterosacral ligaments, and other parts, and even the abdominal cavity, chest cavity, and limbs may be unable to escape its "claws."

Therefore, to deal with the skinny and terrible opponent of endometriosis, it is essential to learn how to conduct self-inspection!

So, how should women self-inspect endometriosis?

In this regard, experts said that if the body has these five symptoms, it is worth paying attention to:

Dysmenorrhea: If a woman suddenly has severe symptoms of dysmenorrhea, and the pain will gradually increases with the menstrual cycle, then attention should be paid to it because after suffering from endometriosis, the estrogen in the body will continue to grow, resulting in hyperplasia and swelling of the ectopic endometrium. The pain will occur once bleeding is caused and local tissue is stimulated.

Increased menstruation: If a woman's menstrual volume suddenly increases, she may have endometriosis. Because the regular shedding of the endometrium forms menstruation, if the amount of menstruation suddenly rises and the period of menstruation is prolonged, it may be caused by the increase of endometrial cells in the body. We need to pay attention to this sudden increase in the endometrium.

Couple life pain: If endometrial cells run to the position of the ileorectal fossa and the vaginal rectal septum, it will cause swelling of the surrounding tissues. Once couples live, there may be a pain, so women should also pay attention to such symptoms.

Defecation bloating: When women have bloating sensation during defecation, they should pay attention to it. This bloating sensation is probably caused by ectopic endometrium in the ileorectal fossa and near the rectum. Specific symptoms can be manifested as when the stool passes through the rectum, it will feel painful and unbearable, but only before and after menstruation, and there is no apparent feeling at other times.

Infertility: The endometrium is where the embryo is implanted and developed. Once the ectopic endometrium affects the pelvic cavity, it may cause fallopian tube adhesion, failing the usual combination of sperm and eggs, and the failure of the smooth transport of fertilized eggs to the uterine cavity. If the ectopic endometrium affects the ovary and causes pathological changes, it will affect ovulation, thus causing infertility.

Therefore, even if there is no apparent discomfort in the body, if a couple under 35 years old is not pregnant for one year or over 35 years old is not pregnant for half a year, they can be considered infertile and need timely medical treatment!

The above is the relevant expert introduction on "How to self-examine endometriosis"!

According to these five symptoms, female friends can conduct self-inspection according to their specific conditions. Women with reproductive needs will be advised to do a pre-pregnancy examination before pregnancy preparation to eliminate the impact of disease on pregnancy preparation.

Women need active treatment if endometriosis has been identified and has affected fertility. The treatment is mainly divided into conservative treatment and surgical treatment.

Conservative treatment includes hormone treatment. Pseudopregnancy or pseudo menopause are often used. It is caused artificially that menstruation stops coming and forms a false pregnancy state. Without menstruation, there will be no dysmenorrhea.

However, the side effects of these drugs are relatively large, and they have specific damage to the liver and kidneys. Some patients had to stop taking medicine because of side effects when the disease was not cured. Menstruation will still come after drug withdrawal, and the condition will generally continue to develop.

Patients can also choose safe and effective traditional Chinese medicine Fuyan Pill for treatment to eliminate symptoms. The herbs in this pill can effectively eliminate symptoms and cause to achieve healing. 

There are two types of surgical treatment: radical surgery and conservative surgery. Radical surgery is to remove both ovaries and the uterus. This is extremely cruel to young and childless women. The complications and sequelae caused by it cause certain patient pain, and menopause syndrome will occur after surgery.

Conservative surgery will timely remove, peel off and eliminate the local lesion. However, due to the heavy adhesion of the disease, the operation is often incomplete. For example, the recurrence rate is high after the cauterization of ectopic lesions that have been ectopic to the sacral ligament and infiltrated into the rectum.

Here I wish you all a good pregnancy and a happy life.
